HC Deb 20 May 1991 vol 191 cc389-90W
Mr. Flynn

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence (1) whether projectile ammunition is stored at RAF Caerwent;

(2) if he will list the movements by road or rail of ammunition and weapons to and from RAF Caerwent in each of the last 12 months;

(3) if he will list the types of ammunition and weapons and their tonnages currently stored at RAF Caerwent.

Mr. Archie Hamilton

I have nothing to add to the answer given to the hon. Member on 9 May 1988 at column1.

Mr. Flynn

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will publish details of the safeguarded areas around the perimeter of RAF Caerwent in which his Department has in the past sought restrictions on planning applications for new developments.

Mr. Archie Hamilton

Copies of the Ministry of Defence (Caerwent) Explosives Storage Area Direction 1988 are held by those local planning authorities whose areas are affected by it. The direction is freely accessible to the public via those authorities. I have, however, placed copies in the Library of the House.
